Home Project, gone not so great.

Frustration.
Mason waking up at 6:32 every morning.
NOT COOL. 

I know he can sleep longer. Mason's very light sensitive just like Gavin. Unfortunately he's in the front room which has an arch window. Even with double heavy drapes (we even had black out shades ,however they didn't help with the arch.) it still gets bright pretty early. Actually the double heavy drapes are more for the winter, it gets cold in there with that huge window. 

Here is my detailed directions and photos of how to fix the problem. (and also what NOT to do.) 

Lets just say, GOD BLESS MY HUSBAND, I love him! haha

1. Examine the issue. Get husband to measure the problem.

2. Drop of Mason at Preschool. Hit up Lowe's and Hobby Lobby. WITHOUT the husband.

3. Go home and lay out the supplies on the kitchen table. Ask said Husband if he's ready. Act very hurt when he says NO. (it helps if you give him a timeline/countdown until Mason's bedtime.)

4. After a pity party and Husband finally gives in, go BACK to Lowe's for L brackets. But not before multiple emails like this to husband that say, "THIS ONE?"

5. After hours of husband putting you off because he has other things to do- START it yourself. Maybe hit your thumb with a hammer or ask a silly girl question about his drill and he'll cave and build the frame.

6. Cover with batting and fabric with staple gun.

7. Your living room floor might not be the best place. Especially with the help of a 2 year old. Double especially when you have breakables up on the mantle by the tv. things like THIS might happen.

8. Let husband help you clean up your mess and finish the job for you.

9. DO NOT let him hang it for you while you get the kids ready for BED.

10. Next time, just wait for your father in law to get back into town and he will follow your directions exactly. :-D

SO, didn't turn out like i wanted, however it does make the room darker- Mason slept til 8:15 am today!!
